Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 646 The Darkened Sword Maniac of the Martial World vs. the Cunning Enchantress (32)

The next day, as dawn broke, the mountain was shrouded in heavy fog, and visibility was eerily low.

Shen Shuyi was forcibly woken up. She opened her eyes and saw Xie Xinghe holding a sword. "What's wrong?"

"Let's go." Xie Xinghe glanced at the sleepy-eyed girl.

Shen Shuyi reached out her hand, "My legs are sore, help me up."

Xie Xinghe pulled the person up; the journey had been rather turbulent.

The mountains are teeming with ferocious beasts. Shen Shuyi watched Xie Xinghe slash his way through the mountains with effortless, smooth swordsmanship. It seemed as if his swordsmanship had improved again.

She teased deliberately, "Xie Xinghe, you didn't actually use me to break through your cultivation level, did you?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Even if he knew about dual cultivation techniques, he wouldn't have been able to care about that in that situation.

Shen Shu noticed that his ears had turned red again, and wondering what this man was thinking, she chuckled and scolded him.

"Pretentious."

Xie Xinghe held her hand with one hand and used his sword to slay the ferocious beast with the other.

Following the system's guidance, Shen Shuyi deliberately steered him in the right direction.

Unexpectedly, the ground shook, and she stumbled. Xie Xinghe couldn't hold her back, and the two of them slipped from each other's grasp.

After the loud noise subsided, they could no longer see each other.

Xie Xinghe held his sword in one hand, his heart tightening. "Shen Shuyi?"

"Shen Shuyi, are you there?"

Shen Shuyi didn't hear Xie Xinghe's voice. After checking the system, she found that the two coordinates were far apart.

"66, have we been caught in a formation and teleported by it?"

[That's right. The previous martial arts alliance leader, Long Yuan, was proficient in formations. To avoid being disturbed, he laid out formations throughout the entire Penglai Island, a vast and inescapable net that even top-tier masters would find difficult to break.]
Shen Shuyi gave a soft "hmm". Since Xie Xinghe was not in any danger, she would just take it one step at a time.

Most importantly, we must obtain the treasure first and absolutely not let it fall into Shi Zhengchun's hands.

Otherwise, if he were to master the "Tai Xuan Jing," he would be someone I couldn't handle with just one whip.

Why would a rotten cucumber practice some extraordinary skill? Wouldn't the Flower Manual be more suitable for him?

She's not some saint; she doesn't care about stealing opportunities from others. If she has the advantage of having a cheat code like 66, why shouldn't she use it?

Penglai Island has many spiritual herbs, and Shen Shuyi collected all the mature ones and stored them in her spatial storage.

As a result, Shi Zhengchun and Yin Qianrou fought and killed their way around the island, but gained nothing.

I was exhausted and then got tricked by the array, traps, and ferocious beasts.

Yin Qianrou leaned against a tree, panting, "Brother Shi, what's going on? Wasn't it said that Penglai Island was full of treasures?"

“There are ferocious beast formations everywhere. I almost fell into a huge crevice just now.”

Shi Zhengchun also found it strange, "It is said that the leader of the Dragon Abyss Alliance has collected countless treasures in his life, and countless weapons and secret manuals are scattered on Penglai Island, waiting for the right person to possess them."

"Qianrou, look, everyone else has found their swords. Maybe we're just really unlucky."

Just then, several young men and women dressed in black robes with their black hair tied up high passed by. They were from a small sect at the foot of Tianshan Mountain that used hammers, called Lingxue Pavilion.

"Young Master of the Heavenly Blade Sect, why are you still empty-handed?"

"Yeah, yeah, I found a sword while hunting pheasants, and I also found a luminous pearl the size of a fist."

"Li Er, stop talking nonsense. How could the young master of the Human Heaven Blade Sect care about our petty squabbles? Let's go." Someone noticed that Shi Zhengchun's expression was a bit off and quickly called on his fellow disciples to leave.

Yin Qianrou was pampered and spoiled in the Blood Lotus Sect. When had she ever suffered such humiliation? These people were clearly mocking them for not getting anything good!
She tugged at Shi Zhengchun's arm, "Brother Shi, I also want a luminous pearl the size of a fist. I had quite a few luminous pearls back in Burning Heart Valley, but none of them were as big as the one he had."

Shi Zhengchun was somewhat troubled. In the past, he would have had arrangements made for him before he even had to ask, and he could have any kind of luminous pearl he wanted. But the Heavenly Blade Sect was now implicated by the Sword Casting Manor and was in the eye of the storm. He desperately needed the Tai Xuan Scripture and the Alliance Leader's Token and did not want to cause trouble and create unexpected changes.

Moreover, he had been beaten up by Mo Lianzhou and was still seriously injured. Although they were from a small sect, they had many people and great power, so he couldn't openly rob them or use his power to intimidate them.

"Qianrou, when we return to the Heavenly Blade Sect, I will give you whatever you want."

"Shall we go first?"

Yin Qianrou bit her lip, "Okay."

She felt a little wronged. She had never suffered such grievances in front of her master. Whatever she wanted, her master would give it to her.

Now she regrets having such a bad relationship with her master, but since her master loves her so much, he probably won't hold it against her. She can just apologize when she returns to Burning Heart Valley.

At the same time, Shen Shuyi pulled out a gleaming sword from a lake. It was clearly the kind of sword that could cut through iron like mud, and it was exceptionally sharp.

She had just emerged from the lake and dried her clothes on the shore using her internal energy when suddenly two hurried footsteps approached.

"Shen, Shen Shuyi?!" Yin Qianrou's face fell when she saw Shen Shuyi. She subconsciously stood in front of Shi Zhengchun, afraid that Shen Shuyi would seduce her man.

Shi Zhengchun looked pleasantly surprised.

"Shu'er, we are really destined to be together."

Shen Shuyi didn't even bother to look at them, and walked straight away with her sword in hand.

Yin Qianrou quickly stopped Shi Zhengchun, saying, "Brother Shi, that sword is perfect for me."

"You know, I broke with my master for your sake and even returned the precious sword he specially forged for me. I have no suitable weapon now."

She then looked at Shen Shuyi, her expression matter-of-fact, "Sister Shen, I know you've always loved Master. If I give Master to you, can you give me the sword?"

Shen Shuyi was speechless; she felt her worldview had been severely shaken.

Is she the kind of person who likes to pick up any kind of trash?
If you don't want it anymore and give it to me, should I thank you?
Holding the sword, she glanced indifferently at Yin Qianrou.

"If I don't give it to you, are you planning to steal it?"

"Can you beat me?"

Yin Qianrou frowned and tugged at Shi Zhengchun's sleeve. "Brother Shi, you saw it too. She's clearly trying to make things difficult for me."

“It didn’t matter if I suffered some grievances in Burning Heart Valley before, since no one protected me before. But now I have you, Brother Shi, you must help me.”

Helpless, Shi Zhengchun said to Yin Qianrou, "Qianrou, go wait by the tree, I need to say a few words to her."

Yin Qianrou looked unwilling. "Is there anything I can't hear from you?"

"Don't be fussy, it'll be over soon. I'm just trying to get you a sword."

"OK then"

As soon as Yin Qianrou left, Shi Zhengchun showed Shen Shuyi a gentle, doting, and helpless expression.

"Shu'er, I finally understand the difficulties you faced in the past."

Are you afraid I'll mind that you're a member of the Blood Lotus Cult?

"I want to tell you that I really don't mind. What I like is you as a person, and it has nothing to do with the Blood Lotus Cult."

Shen Shuyi frowned. "What makes you think I like you?"

She even asked the system, "66, where exactly did I give him the wrong impression?"

Wasn't the beating harsh enough? Why won't this rotten cucumber give up and keep pestering me? It's even looking at me with such affection.
